Early Feb mini break
We had a mid-week stay. Hotel staff were very attentive, friendly and efficient. We booked on room & breakfast basis but added evening meals later. The food was very good, well presented and good sized portions.
The room, while a little dated, was clean and had all that we needed comfort wise.

Friendly and helpful.
Lady on the reception very friendly and helpful. Breakfast substantial, but little choice other than full English, as would have appreciated 'extra's' such as cereals and toast & marmalade. Plenty of parking, but very limited if an event is on, as fills up. Creaky floorboards, but it is an old building!

Great steak, lovely staff but inconsiderate guests
We couldn't fault the receptionist when we arrived. Absolutely amazing and so friendly. Infact, all staff were friendly and helpful.
The food was faultless and the steak was cooked perfectly (medium/rare).
We stayed in the apartments separate to the hotel. The room was spacious. However, when we arrived back at our apartment late last night, our block stunk of weed and it was all in our apartment. One of the apartments on the bottom floor had been smoking weed and stunk the communal area along with our apartment out. It wasn't appropriate to remain in our accommodation. The staff were amazing and moved us immediately as they came to the apartment block and could smell it before opening the communal door. We were moved into the main hotel, which was really appreciated.
Although this happened, it would not put us off going back again to stay as the staff were apologetic and rectified the issue immediately so we could sleep in a room which was free of "weed smoke".

Quirky
Half the price of nearby Premier Inn
A bit quirky with a big TV in reception showing an open fire.
Very noisy plumbing was my only main gripe but not the end of the world

Consistently great
Have stayed before and will again. This is a really good 3 star hotel that is excellent value for money.
The hotel seems to be a very popular wedding venue but if they now have 4 rooms in a house at the bottom of the drive, so if you dont want to be part of the wedding celebration you coukd (hopefully) stay there.
Great breakfast and very helpful staff make this my 'go to' hotel in Norfolk

Booked on the day. Wasn’t informed that there were two functions with music. Arrived to noise and a lot of drunk people. Things settled around 1.30 in the end but there were still constant interruptions during the night. Upon leaving staff didn’t even ask about the stay. Very poor, all round.
